    Might be worth you looking directly at the source code, see if you can get it sorted yourself, and submit a patch.

    Did you try if other environments are affected too? Any linux distribution for example?

    @VRonin I have looked quickly at the source code of QFileSystemWatcher....(Qt5.6.2)
    first I don't find the definition of init() and initPollerEngine() of the class QFileSystemWatcherPrivate (qfilesystemwatcher_p.h) that are called in the constructor of QFileSystemWatcher and in the method addPaths.
    second, I have seen that there is a thread that derivate from QThread for windows, QWindowsFileSystemWatcherEngineThread, and the method run is redefinited l332 in qfilesystemwatcher_win.cpp,so that I understand it but don't understand all the details in the method run...

      @VRonin I have seen where it emits the signal directoryChanged when the directory is deleted l.388 and l.385 I see if(fakeRemove||!fileInfo.exists()) but I don't understand the other things well.....

        @VRonin I have looked too at the win32 functions findfirstchangenotification (used l.160) and find nextchangenotification (used l.364)....I think I must use a debug version of Qt to debug that because perhaps there is no change notification on the handle when we use a simple del to delete a directory ie send it to trashcan(without shift) ?

          @VRonin or perhaps the error l.367 is another error than ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED that should be considered too and the that fakeRemove should be put to true too (or another boolean )

            @VRonin what are the other errors of FindNextChangeNotification?didn't find them in the win32 msdn documentation.
            And I don't really know how to do debug of Qt ? because it is in QtCore,so I suppose I must take the project and source of QtCore, but my test project use not only QtCore but QtGui and QtWidget too....

              I'll take a quick look and see if I can spot something in the source, no promises though

                @VRonin Thank you vronin, do you know how I can debug QtCore (or corelib or io) with my test project synchro as executable with QtCreator and mingw-w64(the compiler of qt.io).I suppose I must take the source (single,the .zip) but don't really know how to do that.my project synchro uses core,gui and widget but I suppose I must open corelib or io as project in QtCreator

                  @VRonin do you know how to get the version 5.6.2 of qtbase from code.qt.io with git? (to build it in debug and try to debug corelib)

                    Just clone the repository and check out the 5.6 branch

                        @VRonin it is done.but to debug qfilesystemwatcher should I open corelib.pro in QtCreator (QtCore) and build it debug and put breakpoints and attach to my app synchro ?

                            @VRonin there is "attach to unstarted application" and "debug an external application" in Qtcreator\debug. is it possible to use one this option to debug QtCore (corelib) with my app synchro.exe ?

                              @VRonin when building corelib I have this error ..\corelib\global\qt_pch.h:50:21: fatal error: qglobal.h: No such file or directory
                              #include <qglobal.h>
                              qglobal.h is in the directory but I think I lacks an environment variable ?

                                @VRonin OK I think I have found : I have copied the directory include of the source single (.zip) of 5.6.2 in the direcorty qtbase and I have put in my environment variable INCLUDE the path of directory include and reboot my windows...I think it will be ok

                                    It think I will build the whole Qtbase as usually and then open the corelib.pro and put the directory of lib QtCored.dll as build directory and try to debug with my exe (synchro.exe)

                                      You have to, qtbase, unlike the other modules, requires that you run configure before building it.

                                        @SGaist even after done configure,if I want to debug qtcore (corelib) in Qtcreator,it needs to be build with Qtcreator and I can't build it with Qtcreator (mingw).so I can't debug corelib (qtcore) and I don't know how to do.I have built qtbase with command line but it is unuseful...

                                          What problem do you get building from the command line ?
